You can get involved directly in tackling crime in your local area, either through
the CivicWatch Citizens or Neighbourhood Watch programme, as well as the
ward panels mentioned on page 8.
Neighbourhood
Watch
Neighbourhood Watch is about
neighbours joining together to:
• support local crime prevention
initiatives
• distribute local crime information
and advice
• provide intelligence to the police on
criminal and anti-social activities
• lobby councils and other local
agencies for improvements to
their area.
If you are interested in getting involved
with your local Neighbourhood Watch
group, call 020 7641 2117.
CivicWatch
The CivicWatch Citizens project
encourages residents to report anything
from youth disorder, street drinking
and begging to more environmental
concerns such as graffi ti, noise
nuisance, fl y tipping and dog fouling.
Monthly feedback is sent to update
people on action that has been taken
to deal with their concerns.
